Orange County's Ronald James Grubbs II isn't happy he admitted he sexually molested a four-year-old girl in November 2007.
The 40-year-old Grubbs wants his written confession erased from the public record.
His motive?
Well, he's apparently not happy that he's serving a 16-year sentence in a California prison.

This week, a California Court of Appeal issued perhaps its most
terse opinion ever–just one page of substance.
Appellate justice noted
that Grubbs, who is a massive 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, signed a court
record documenting his crimes, won elimination of a felony count for pleading guilty before a trial and accepted a
tough punishment.
They also said that neither prosecutors nor Superior Court Judge Derek Guy Johnson made errors in the case.
